In this episode of Energy Matters, presented by the New Jersey Policy Institute, Host Jeanette Hoffman examines skyrocketing electricity costs, the renewed push for nuclear power, natural-gas investments, and the controversial Climate Superfund bills spreading through statehouses. She sits down with Maggie Mick, Vice President of MultiState and host of The Political Life Podcast, to discuss which states are winning the race for affordable, reliable power, how policymakers balance costs with environmental goals, the role of nuclear and natural gas, the potential impact of Climate Superfund laws on consumers and businesses, energy’s importance to manufacturing competitiveness, and priorities for strengthening grid reliability and transmission. Then Ray Cantor of the New Jersey Business & Industry Association details NJBIA’s “Rethink RGGI” campaign and its proposal to cut carbon emissions while lowering energy prices for ratepayers.
